Abstract

A cosmetic sampler (Figure 1) formed by screen printing a slurry (2) of cosmetic powder and solvent onto a paper base (1). To prevent off-set of the cosmetic sample (2) during packaging and handling, a protective thin film overlay (4) is laminated to a perimeter adhesive (3) printed on the paper base (1) around the cosmetic (2). The paper base (1) may be replaced by a pressure sensitive adhesive stock (7, 8) to form a unit dose or single application of a cosmetic that can be applied as a label to any desired surface. In other embodiments, a non-pressure sensitive removable adhesive (10) is used in a two-layer removable label construction (Figure 3A) or a three-layer coupon construction (Figure 4A). The sampler can also be provided with or without the protective overlay (4) in a simple folded hand-out version or as a pad of cosmetic sampler sheets. The sampler can also be used to provide unit doses or single applications of creams, lipsticks, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, lotions, and other high viscosity, waxy materials.
